Dans & ballet

No Dutch Required

The dance between Eros and Thanatos is a timeless dialogue. A constant interplay between love and decay, harmony and chaos, peace and war, building up and tearing down. In a world reeling from geopolitical tensions and humanitarian crises, that ancient dance unfolds before our eyes. How do we find our way through it, and are we able to turn the tide?

Monday opts for a radical reversal. The show plays out backwards. By rewinding events, our understanding of them can change profoundly. Four dancers perform their movements in reverse and rebuild the set, gradually creating a hypnotic quality.

The music, inspired by the Song of Seikilos, the oldest complete surviving musical composition in the world, gives the show its driving force.

This reconstruction is not about nostalgia. It becomes a physical metaphor for how we can rebuild, together and with care. So often dismissed as just another day or as the return to routine, Monday here becomes a day no one will forget.
